Cruciate Ligament Surgery – Ben Foster of Manchester United
Soccer: Edwin van der Sar will breathe a sigh of relief after it emerged Ben Foster is suffering from acute knee knack.
Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster faces a lengthy period out of the game as he prepares to undergo cruciate ligament surgery on his cruciate knee ligament .
Foster’s knee began to trouble him towards the end of the season, and he was assessed by England and United medical staff after reporting for international duty last month.
A United spokesperson said: "Ben Foster has a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee and will require an operation in two to three weeks’ time." United have not said when Foster is expected to return, but he will definitely miss the start of the Premiership campaign.
Foster enjoyed an excellent loan period at Watford last season, where his performances gained him a first England cap in February. He had been tipped by many to replace Edwin van der Sar as United’s first choice keeper next season, but today’s injury may spell the end of those hopes.
